Check all your electronics you plan on taking and making sure they are 100v-240v. If they are this range then consider taking a couple of adapters for 100v to 220v. You will not need a transformer if you can use the adapter if your item is 110v-240v. You probably will not find a 110v outlet in most European hotels. Cruise ships generally have a 110v outlet. There are adapters that have USB outlets to plug in iphones, etc. Check with your cell service to see what plans they have for talk/data in Europe. Make sure your cells have the WiFi Calling turned on before you leave the US. With the cell in airplane mode anywhere in the world that you have WiFi you can use WiFi Calling as if you were at home. No extra cost except for the WiFi, fi not free, and a lot of places have it for free. Even some cities provide it as a free service throughout the town. If you want a map program I recommend Organic Maps. Its a free app and the maps and usage are free. Download the maps where you have WiFi, like at home, of all the maps and locations you will be at. You can use the maps and app without cell service or WiFi. Just download the maps via WiFi before you leave, or at a WiFi service in Europe. You can mark spots like your hotel, attractions, and such where it then can be used to guide you there, like from point A to B. If you download maps where you are paying for data it can be expensive. If you plan on using public transit systems or going to any attractions anywhere download their app prior to leaving the US and create an account. You can check routes and cost and even buy tickets for the family. Sometimes at a reduced cost and skip lines. Great for major attractions. DDawg

Not a big issue. I'm on the TA and the cruise after this one to Norway with same selected room. For 2 days I figured I could handle anything with a GTY. When I get on I'll check and see if my room which is the same before and after this 2 day cruise will be available. Thanks.

I am checked in and I tried this for the Anthem 10-12 May 24 cruise but no room assigned yet. How close before they assign rooms? DDawg

My last 5 RCL cruises since 1 Nov did not have cartons of milk anymore. I was told they cannot get them in cartons anymore. May be a temporary situation. Generally white and chocolate milk are available in containers in the morning in the WJ. Getting chocolate throughout the day is a challenge. White milk is available in a pitcher by the water and ice machines in the WJ. Generally, when I eat in CK or Chops for breakfast I just ask for milk and they bring me a glass. I carry a drink container on board and fill it up at breakfast with my choice of milk and put it in my fridge. Good for at least a day. But check your fridge and ask for a new one if not cool at all. My experience is they don't replace bad fridges unless someone complains.

"miserable"....if you can't handle the answer don't ask the question or comment on it!

Big difference between a traffic "violation or infraction" and possible a Class A Felony, depending on country.

I've snorkeled both places and always wear water shoes and use a full-faced snorkel mask. Enjoy. DDawg

If you swapped keys and they each have a credit card on file for a different room then that could be a problem when they charged anything. Of course an extra room key swap and use the original key for charging could solve that. Never had to do this so other folks may have a better solution if GS can't make the change.

Recently on the Jewell on a TA we missed Reykjavik due to weather. Spent an extra night in Akureyri, I think it was. Got nothing back for the missed port. Guess they used it for the extra night at the other port. It even's out. DDawg

Mine is same for October and within 60 days. Not sure why they'd charge you $2200 unless you change rooms/categories based on current prices. Port Fees/Taxes were a gimmie but figured the base price is history. One person mentioned I'd probably not get the extra double points which I understand. Not a problem as got over 1300. Seams like no show most logical route. I may end up with 3 cruises (got 2 now) in Oct so might run into you as some point. Good luck. DDawg

Am within 60 days of cruise and room mate has to cancel for reasons beyond insurance. Since that persons money is forfeited is it better to cancel them from the room or just have them be a no show on embarkation day? I suspect if they cancel there will be no refund/FCC. If I try to use a DP340 as a solo it would be based on the current rate which is over $1000 than originally paid. I'm thinking just call it a no show and I would get double points at some point after the cruise. Thoughts? TIA DDawg

Found this on the net. Might help. Think they're Round Trip prices.

Yes

Didn't read the other 21 pages of comments but based on Subject my vote is to bring back the 2x cleaning a day!

Would not pay. The stewards do am amazing job of making these but I always tell them on the first day to not make any for me, thus saving time and towels maintenance. DDawg
